The reason why the Martial Monk was not surprised by her cultivation speed was revealed more than a year ago.
That evening, while she was resting in the palace and was almost asleep, she was suddenly awakened by an overwhelming aura emanating from the neighboring room.
She almost thought it was an Ancient Dragon attacking at night, so she rushed into her master's room without even putting on her shoes.
She only saw the Martial Monk sitting calmly, and he replied to her with ease:
"I just had an insight and touched the Extreme Realm—but it's too conspicuous, not conducive to searching for the Dragon King, so I retreated again."
The Extreme Realm—what is now known as the Ultimate Shift.
Subsequently, the Hero, who began her pursuit, learned an even more astonishing fact:
More than five years ago, when the Martial Monk who had cultivated for two hundred years descended the mountain, he was actually just at the legendary level, like her.
